Kay v University of Aberdeen and Another: EAT 20 Jun 2013

EAT Unfair Dismissal : Reasonableness of Dismissal – DISABILITY DISCRIMINATION – Reasonable adjustments – The Claimant was dismissed by the Respondent. He made a claim for unfair dismissal and for disability discrimination, failure to make reasonable adjustments, and for victimisation and harassment. The Employment Tribunal dismissed his claims. The Claimant argued that the ET had erred in law by making a perverse a finding that he was not disabled when the medical evidence showed that he was. He also argued that he was unfairly dismissed. The EAT found that the ET had evidence before it concerning the Claimant’s medical condition from which it was entitled to infer that he was not disabled. The ET did not err in law in finding the claim of unfair dismissal was not made out.
